Explore Thailand’s capital, Bangkok, in all its hectic, noisy, beautiful, historic, and exotic glory. With its obvious gap between rich and poor, you either hate Bangkok – or you absolutely love it.
This Master Class workshop with James Nachtwey, one of the greatest and most important reportage photographers of our time, is based on Bangkok’s diversity. James Nachtwey and Better Moments want to give you the opportunity to discover the turbulent city with your camera, to see behind the curtain and get to its very core.
James Nachtwey will divide the workshop guests into small groups based on their personal photographic style and interests. Each group will get their own photo assignment to work on. The participants are expected to produce a photographic essay as if working on an assignment for a major magazine like National Geographic or a newspaper like The New York Times. The assignments are based on James’ profound experience and the unique circumstances of Bangkok. Together with James Nachtwey and our local photo guides, who usually work for international media such as CNN or the The New York Times, you will be guided and supported during this one-of-a-kind photo adventure.
James Nachtwey is an American photojournalist and war photographer. He has been awarded the Overseas Press Club’s Robert Capa Gold Medal five times and two World Press Photo awards.
Nachtwey has devoted himself to documenting wars, conflicts, and critical social issues. He has worked on extensive photographic essays all around the world.
Nachtwey has been a contract photographer with Time magazine since 1984. In 2001, he became one of the founding members of the photo agency VII. He has had solo exhibitions in New York, Paris, Rome, and around the world.
